    I would be sitting on the aft deck sipping cocktails. Her name is the Lady M, and apparently google says that a Australian politician owns her and he has a title of lord bishop. Who new politicians made that kind of money?

    Cool captures, I wonder if MA has seen where his tax dollars are going?

    Cool captures as well.
    Politicians make that kind of money because people don't have enough time to protest against it.

    What amazing light you had and you made great use of it.

    Never heard of this 'Lord Bishop' but I'll be sinking that boat if I ever actually see it.

    Where did you find the info on the Lady M being Australian? I can find 1 Lady M in Aussie but it's a very different boat. The Lady M ll however, that you photographed above, appears to be cruising the coast of Canada and the US only.

    Watertown Daily Times | Australian businessman, not Ringo, owns Lady M

    Its probably a rumour at best and I screwed up it wasnt lord bishop it was lord Ashcroft. The boat is actually registered in Belize I think but owned by a Australian buisness man.

    Ah ok ... did a wiki on him ...

    Michael Anthony Ashcroft, Baron Ashcroft, KCMG, (born 4 March 1946), is an international businessman, philanthropist and politician. He holds dual British and Belizean nationality, and is a Belonger of the Turks & Caicos Islands. Ennobled as a life peer in 2000, he sits in the House of Lords on the Conservative benches. In the Sunday Times Rich List 2009 ranking of the wealthiest people in the UK he was placed 37th with an estimated fortune of £1.1 billion.[1] On 1 March 2010, after 10 years of holding his tax status as private, he revealed that he did not pay tax on his overseas earnings in the UK.[2] He is a former Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party.
    Born in Chichester,[3] as his father Eric was a British colonial civil servant, Ashcroft spent some of his early years in British Honduras (now Belize) and Malawi.

    He was educated at Norwich School, Royal Grammar School, and Mid-Essex Technical College (now Anglia Ruskin University), where he obtained a Higher National Diploma.[4]



    Not sure where the Australian part is supposed to fit in but I got bored by the time I'd read that much
